Shownotes Transcript

David Warner Mathisen returns to InnerVerse to teach us about some of the more obscure myths and legends of the world that reflect the astro-theology religion of the ancients. We discuss spiritual context for modern societal turbulence, parallels between shamanism and Gnosticism, star myths as evidence of humanity's transcendental powers, mythological imperialism, the African fire deity Xango, the ritualistic assumption of godly personas, the Mayan thunder god Chaak, and much more.

 

In the Plus+ Extension we find Australia's giant termite mound in the sky, the Aboriginal legends of the river Yarra, Karakarook & Waung, India's Sukanya and Chyavan, Centaurus and the Southern Cross, David's perspective on the southern hemisphere's upside-down heavens, stellar symbolism in world media events, and what the gods might think about Wall Street.
